The Youth Advisory Council is a student leadership group interested in staying substance-free and making a positive impact in their school and the community. Our youth councils work on prevention-related educational activities that are student-focused.

Project Alert and My Generation RX are programs aimed at teaching students to recognize and avoid the harmful physical, psychological, and social consequences of substance use and give them healthy alternatives to cope with these pressures using evidence-based curriculums.
